Worker Studio is an American animation and visual effects company based in Centennial, Colorado, founded in 2009 by Michael "Ffish" Hemschoot. The company has provided visual effects for a number of short films including Angela Bettis' segment E is for Exterminate in the horror anthology film The ABCs of Death.[1] In 2013, the studio began developing an animated adaptation of Phil Hartman's comedy album, Phil Hartman's Flat TV, which was posthumously released in 2002 after he performed and recorded it in 1978.[2][3] The studio is also the production company behind the animated documentary John Ross: American, based on the life of World War II pilot John H. Ross.[4]
In 2012, journalist Jason Cangialosi joined Worker Studio as a Partner and the studio's Minister of Message and Propaganda after he had met and interviewed Hemschoot about projects he was developing, including John Ross: American, and advocacy for new tax incentives for films in Colorado.[5] Shortly after, former Disney Artist Barry Kooser joined the studio as a partner and Chief Creative Officer. Hemschoot and Kooser met while teaching animation at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.[6]
